I look at it like Jerabek for Reilly, which doesnt look bad in my eyes

Habs win the trade for value. A 5th rounder is a crap shoot. Reilly is a NHL bottom pair d-man (has team control) with offensive 4D upside. His time in MN was done, too many LD pushing for NHL time.

Wild get a contract slot.

Reilly with MIN: "He's just a Marc-Andre Bergeron."
Reilly with MTL: "Ok... maybe he's a Ryan Suter."

Well, not really, but he was a 5v5 black hole in Minny and it's great to see that he's succeeding. I'm plenty happy with Olofsson and Seeler as a 3LD tandem though.

Happens all the time with other defenders.

Davidsson with NYI is great
Pateryn with Dallas is great
Benn with Montreal is/was great
Petry with Montreal is great
